The new WRC season has started last weekend. The race was in Monaco and it was quite interesting. Unfortunately not much was shown by the TV in my country.

I only have this to say. The Toyota presence in such a rally is , for a lack of a better word, noticeable. I guess the new Mitsubishi Lancer and the new Pegeot 307cc made it a bit interesting, but I think is unforgivable for Toyota not to participate in this rally. Ahh the good old days when the Quatros, Celicas, Evos, reigned.!!!!! rolleyes.gif

And as much as I'd love to see Toyota in rally again(the 6th gen rally car was what got me really into Celicas), they broke the rules and must suffer the consequence(sp?). The turbo cars have a blocker plate to restrict airflow and keep power at a lower level. Toyota was found to be using a false plate(it would slide away when it was reassembled), which got them banned from sponsoring rally cars.
